The authors identified, following the researches, a pedo-climatic area from Romania, respective Dobrudja, where the grain sorghum meets agro-pedo-meteorological conditions favourable to obtaining of high yields. It was analysed the grain sorghum crop in the world, in Europe and Romania, but also two cultures of grain sorghum, one under field conditions and the other one under experimental conditions in the teaching plot belonging to the Ovidius University from Constanta.
